At the end of the first play they use one timeout and when no one is looking Dodge knocks out a Chicago player and pushes him to the Duluth side so everyone thinks it's a Duluth player when they take him off the field. Duluth is then charged 1 timeout because they only have 10 guys left on the field but <b>they retain possession of the ball</b>. That is what I missed the first time around. Duluth still has the ball and when it is thrown into the endzone it is two <b>DULUTH</b> players vying for it although everyone thinks Dodge is a Chicago player. It is assumed it is an interception but when the uniform is washed off they realize it was Dodge and so Duluth wins 7-3. Get it?Ricnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10794229.post-78677881585452803192008-11-01T16:37:00.000-07:002008-11-01T16:37:00.000-07:00But what doesn't make sense is that Clooney catche...But what doesn't make sense is that Clooney catches the ball in the OTHER TEAM'S end zone. Before they knew it was him it was called an interception, but when he was washed off and revealed, it was called a touchdown. What the hell? Shouldn't it be the other way around?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10794229.post-51075456668735065602008-05-12T20:21:00.000-07:002008-05-12T20:21:00.000-07:00Anonymous -- The fact that I only barely remember ...Anonymous -- The fact that I only barely remember might say something about the movie. But here's how I remember it: Clooney punches out the opposing player and leaves him buried in the mud and takes his place on the opposing line, since with all the mud nobody can tell the uniforms apart. So that somehow gives him position on the closing Hail Mary and, disguised as a player on the other team he catches the ball in the end zone, clinching the win for his team. I don't remember semi-important things like whether his team was on offense or defense or why the complicated subterfuge was actually a good strategy, one worth getting kicked out of football for. But that's the best I can do...<BR/><BR/>-DanielDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08110645467194876282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10794229.post-36312089544946502822008-05-12T20:05:00.000-07:002008-05-12T20:05:00.000-07:00Can anybody explain the last play of the game wher...Can anybody explain the last play of the game where Clooney's character appears to punch somebody out, then disappears for a couple of minutes and then appears out of the mudbowl holding the ball for the winning touchdown?
